After a Long Long Time... And ...

The last I wrote I was really angry, frustrated and wanted to thrash everyone.. And a year passed by... Things have changed, and not for good... I have so many thoughts, I am not sure one blog would be enough. So let us start.... This is going to be controversial, debatable and hurtful for some...

Happy New Year!! Hope we see the light at the end of this tunnel and more importantly we move towards it and not against it, as so far we have been moving.

Let me start with touching over the last few events which have touched, moved and hit us...

We have had a terrible year as a country and we are going through worse times. We have had certain so-called "leaders" of our nation killing the national spirit and certain other "Moral-Polices" beating down on innocent public, trying to live their life their way. Many of us have at one point or another supported such sections of our society (consciously or un-consciously) due to one or more selfish reasons. Maharasthrians have unconsciously/consciously supported the controversies by maintaining silence, for what I call hypocrisy. Are the Rajasthanis not related to Maratha clans through history and family? Aren't Scindia's and Tope's of the north not Marathas? Wasn't Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi (born in Kanpur and queen of Jhansi) a maratha, while Kanpur/Jhansi the heart of North India? Aren't we all Indians who have a right to live and do wherever and whenever we feel as guaranteed by the constitution. I would brand these leaders and thought followers as bigger terrorists than anyone, because such people sow the seed of terror into the minds of those who are living around them. Such people are worse than the terrorists which come to our country to kill people since they kill the spirit in the people for their benefit.

And who are these Moral Polices? People among us having hypocrite view of things? Or we who beleive that relegion means that what clothing should be worn and how... These Moral Polices are worst kind of religion keepers who break all the laws and the rules of religion by doing everything immoral and yet are left free by the sick governments because of their vote bank politics and their wicked and criminal styles. (If beating people is not a crime, then what is? and if letting their own "janta" being tormented and tortured is not criminal then what is?)

The other important event which hit us was the terrorist attack on 26th November (I refuse to call it "India's 9/11" and you will see why.).... Firstly this is not the first event in the history of India where terrorists have sneaked in to our country and bled innocent blood. But, this is definitely the first time where in the "Who's Who" of India has been hit and found _insecure_ ... And we are angry, yes we are very very angry, because the big industrialist has been hit???
Whatever happened when the strings of blasts (which ironically took more lives and had a bigger potential of loss of live and property and National Integrity) hit us a few months back? We never said "enough is enough" then, in fact our "Intelligent, Sauve and Truth reporting" media never asked for "Action". Nor did such self-acclaimed journalists like Rajdeep Sardesai's and Barkha Datt's conducted public polls and debates. (Now what does these polls and debates help us is another set of debatable discussion, which i am bound to cover later in my other blogs).

Having said that, no my dear friends this is not the time to be angry, this is the time to be decisive. This is the time to decide what is the next step as a nation. Now is the time where we not only lay out our opinion but take strong action on it. I am surprised by the reaction on claiming Police as our ultimate heroes. I would rather blame them and other intelligence agencies for such debacles, where in they should have stopped some one from entering our beloved home land. I am more than surprised, I am worried and horrified that if it is so easy to sneak into the prime locality of the country, what is happening to the common man? This clearly shows that Police has been negligent and playing into the hands of criminals (including our Netas, which are nothing short than criminals) getting bribed at every step and not heeding to requests by the common man. Not only has it time and again cost us lives of our beloved family members, it has led us to beleive that any crime reported to police is actually calling for more trouble than solving it...

Why I refuse to call the incident as India's 26/11 is because of so many reasons.

1. First, we are not America (USA) who have only one such moment in their history. We have had tonnes of such events, that we have lost count.
2. Second, we have not learnt from this... We have shown our anger and gone back to the things we do best "Crib"
3. Third, We are not going to show the rest of the world that India will not take this lightly... We are going to learn to live with this...
4. Fourth, why should one gross incident which has contributed to lot of loss be made an example. It should be condemned to the fore and action should be taken against such incidents.

I think the time has come for all of us to realize our own position in the society. We are this nation, we are the people who define why a law should be there, why police is required and why leaders are required. Let us all stand up and take new resolve that we will evolve this nation into a beautiful place, we would fight against crime and bribery and criminals and we would be united above cast, creed, region, religion, colour or any other divide we have been offered by our so called leaders/pandits/etc...

Let us stand United, if not for us then for the very future of our country, for our beloved Motherland.
